Re: Before and after pics of rims

Mine works great for me. No complaints, just have a stout drill on it for when you get it in the tight spots.

it wasnt that hard, just alot of time, i spent a full day with air craft stripper rubbing the powder coat off from in the lug nut holes and in the triangle things there. in the picture of the buffer, you can see a green thing witha 2x4 screwed to it, i screwed it to the bench, and put the buffer to it, used three differnt buffing grits, one to take it down to the aluminum, then one with sand paper, and steel wool in between, then a scotchbrite pad to clean it, but i stilll have two more rims left
